No matter what you do, the final destination is the same. You might get a few extra years, but extra years at 80+ are of little value.

Anne Lewis :
“The Glymphatic System • Location: Found exclusively in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). • How it works: It uses cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to wash through brain tissue, clearing out metabolic waste like amyloid-beta and tau proteins.”
